Hodsock Priory

I've been meaning to get this post up a while but just haven't had two minutes to get it done. On Saturday 26th we went with grandma and grandad to Hodsock Priory to see the snowdrops. It's only 15 minutes or so away from the house so not too far to travel. I think it's pretty well known for it's variety of snowdrops though we hadn't heard of it before we stumbled across it in 2009.

It was rather chilly and the wind was blowing straight through but the gardens were beautiful. Despite the mud we had a good stomp around. There weren't as many snowdrops as I had remembered and the daffodils weren't out yet but it was good to be outside. I dread to think how many snowdrops the kids killed while we were there - the concept of sticking to the paths is unknown to them.

In the woodlands there were some stumps and Beth made the most of these natural stages, singing for all to hear. Toby was a little slower and had to be lured round with the use of grandad's midget gems. Turns out that he wasn't feeling great - his breathing got worse through the evening and ended with an ambulance ride at 3am and Sunday spent in Lincoln hospital. He's fine now, just need to keep an eye on him and give him his inhaler if he seems to be having issues.

Beth's also fine, she achieved her level 6 gymnastics badge and certificate on Thursday. Only five more to go!
